How was WW2 remembered and narrated at the level of the family? How did families make sense of the cataclysm that had shattered their lives, how did they come to terms with loss and absence?
The family has remained at the margin of most studies of ‘collective memory’ and official memorialisation in postwar Europe. This paper explores family memorialisation, arguing that far from belonging to the ‘private’, family memories carried a strong political significance, relevant to the establishment of new collective identities and principles of political legitimacy.
